07 | happy birthday

[alephbet]

Characters: Aleph and you!
Setting: Dormitories, cafeteria, meadow floor, media room, anywhere else you want!
Format: Starting with action brackets, will match anything.
Summary: Today's Aleph's birthday! Now that everyone knows, here are the places he can be caught at.
Warnings: None so far,

[Dormitories]
[Like most people on most days in the tower, Aleph's day begins by waking up in his bed. After showering and dressing and yada yada, he'll wander the halls for a bit.

No real reason. He just wants to stretch his legs a bit, since he'll be taking the elevator for most of today - he doesn't feel like getting into an unnecessary fight on his birthday, and the dormitories are a safe place to jog.]

[Cafeteria]
[Apparently there is supposed to be food! And cake!

Aleph likes these things. And if it's traditional for other people to feed you on your birthday, well, he's not going to complain.

So, he'll be looking for April or chaos in the cafeteria, though this is a good a place as any to accost him.]

[Meadow]
[Aleph will be either practicing his stretches and his swordplay against a hastily-set up target here, or else just lying around in the fields and napping.

He doesn't get to take naps often. They're really nice, and he wakes up feeling more refreshed, assuming nobody is mean enough to wake him up abruptly.

(Totally wake him abruptly.)]

[Media Room]
[No, he's not doing karaoke. But he is commandeering the TV for really cheesy movies. Mystery Science Theater-3000-level bad B-list movies. It seems he either has really bad luck in what he's picking at random or else he genuinely enjoys snorting at terrible acting. Maybe both.

Join him? Snark at the films he's watching?]

[General]
[Aleph's still wearing his armor as he wanders down the stairs, still has his sword and gun on him, and basically still looks like his regular weirdo self. He'll also still be greeting those he passes with 'good morning!' and 'good afternoon!' and 'how's it going?' in a chipper tone. Feel free to smack him.]

[alephbet]

Maybe we should have one.

[technologic]

Oh, we should. But we gotta think up prizes and stuff.

[alephbet]

There's not much to give.

[technologic]

[Go find a fair Maiden Aleph-]

Hmm... Maybe something practical? Like weapons or food or something like that...

[alephbet]

I don't have many spares, but I could look.

[technologic]

And I could make stuff too, like swords and such, since I've gotten better at working with metal.

[alephbet]

It would be fun to have a dance contest.

[technologic]

And you never know, you might meet someone who could rival you in dancing.

[alephbet]

My ultimate nemesis.

[technologic]

Ehe, yep. But hey, having some to have dance-offs with could be fun.

[alephbet]

Let's do it.

[He dips her briefly.]

[technologic]

Ri- [She squeaks quietly when she's dipped, but tries speaking again when she's upright.] R-right... Now we just gotta find people to be judges...

[alephbet]

We could advertise...

[Or forget about it when the event happens.]

[technologic]

Yeah, though we should wait until after whatever the admins are gonna pull this month.

[And April BSODs after the event and doesn't face anybody for a week so-]

[alephbet]

Probably for the best.

[technologic]

Right! So we'll do that later this month. Or whenever the event is over.

[alephbet]

That works for me.

[Dancing!]

[technologic]

[Oh shi- Just gonna be following his lead and trying not to trip. Though the most she does is step on her own foot before righting herself.]

[alephbet]

You're doing really well.

[technologic]

Even though I just stepped on my foot?

[alephbet]

Everybody does that occasionally.

[technologic]

Except you. But I'm glad to know that I'm getting better at this, since I could barely dance before.

[alephbet]

Even I do, sometimes! I just recover quickly.

[technologic]

Mm, hopefully once I get a better hang of it, I won't stumble as much.

[alephbet]

I'm sure you'll improve quickly.
